Da nuhDa nuhDa nuh Da nuh Da nuh Da nuh

Did you know that it's Shark Week? Yep. It just happened to start on the only day that we've been to the beach all summer. It didn't stop me from going out into the ocean. I went out *almost* waist deep.

Here's what I've learned from Shark Week:

Sharks don't *want* to eat you, but when they see you out there on that surfboard, they think you're a seal. They can't help themselves.

Sharks really don't like dolphins OR their sonar. [Note to Self: next summer buy a greyish-blue wet suit, complete with snout and built-in sonar.

You know how cookie inspiration can happen anywhere? See this picture from my phone?
Well, I happened to run across this cute shark picture in a magazine at...
...my OB/GYN's office.
{Not someplace I would normally break out my camera.}

Anyway...I cannot remember name of the magazine. I was so worried the doctor would come in and I would have to launch into some nonsensical explanation...

"You see, Doctor...next week is Shark Week and well, I make cookies, for my blog...and this idea is so cute and I didn't want to rip the picture out of the magazine...I'll just stop talking and put my camera away now..."
So, if you've seen this in a magazine, let me know and I'll update the post with the source from which the cookie was inspired stolen.

These are so clever. I have also been known to sneak pictures of magazines and wondered how I would explain it to someone...glad to know I am not the only one. My son is obsessed with shark week. I need to make him some of these!

Bridget, my 13 year old is TOTALLY digging shark week right now and these are so perfect. I WISH WISH WANT to learn how to do this. I just LOVE your blog and cookies OH MY!

In fact I was humbly just nominated for the "One Lovely Blog Award" and I had to nominate you for it as well. You are welcome to stop by my latest post to see my toast to you and your blog - you can find it here. http://www.thebutterdish.net/2011/08/a-lovely-blog-award-and-7-facts-about-me/. Thanks for the tutorial!!! There may be hope for me yet. :)

So super duper awesome! Just the cutest shark I've ever seen. I posted a link on Edible Crafts :). And PS. I live in DC near the Discovery Channel HQ in MD. Every year (except this one?) they put a HUUUUGE shark fin, tail and head on their building during this week. You can see it for miles!

I almost said these are adorable but not sure that's the right adjective when a shark is eating a little starfish! But you captured 'jaws' in a most appealing way!

The summer after moving to NC; I drove home to visit family and my kid sister came back to stay with me for a couple of weeks. Neither of us had ever been to the ocean and it was a planned part of her visit. WHY did we watch Jaws right before that trip?

I heard that 'Da nuh Da nuh Da nuh Da nuh' in my head every time I was in the water and just knew one was coming up under me at any moment. Of course I had to pretend all was OK so she would feel safe and wonder now if my constant urging, "Laurie, let's go in to the more shallow water' ever gave me away?!!

My god. You make the freakin cutest cookies on the planet. I'm new to the blogging world so I'm the hunt for good blogs to follow and came across your's. Not only are you cookies ridiculously adorable but your writing is so funny. Yeah...I'll be subscribing :)

Wow those cookies look delish, and you have great recipes and such.I'm trying to start up a sweet blog that has all kinds of interesting information, help, and facts. You guys should check it out: www.pinedoland.blogspot.com

Since I've gotten more into making decorated cookies, I'm looking at everything I see in a new way. I took inspiration from alot of things I saw with my cakes and cupcakes, but I seem to be able to do more with cookies! :-)

Love visiting your blog! Your cookies are so completely creative. I am currently getting ready to try the "You are here" cookies as a house warming gift for a friend who just moved. Thank you for such a fun blog!
